And he who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious; and the things of this earth shall be added unto him, even an hundred fold, yea, more.

~Doctrine and Covenants 78:19

My Kids Say the Darndest Things

2013 - Joaquin randomly repeats a line from JT's song "Mirrors" during our Sunday School class - "Tomorrow is a Mystery" and his little friend beside him looks at him and says "No, its not! Tomorrow is Monday". 3/09 - Me: "Joaquin what is that on your face?" (He had a black smudge of somekind). Joaquin, "It's my skin".

This year we are continuing our Easter tradition. First Rodrigo and I are rememborizing (remembering our previous memorization :) a portion of "The Living Christ" each of the 12 days. You can find the pretty little cards we use for this here.

We are once again following the last week of the Savior's life beginning today with, "The Savior cleanses the Temple". We missed Palm Sunday yesterday but will review this tonight in FHE. Each day using the corresponding picture from the gospel art kit we will have a devotional and discuss the things that happened in Christ's life that day. The gospel art picture will then be placed on the wall for us to look at and ponder throughout the week. Thursday we will celebrate passover with foods that are typically eaten.

Saturday we will hide easter eggs and present easter baskets to the boys. Fun has a place too in our traditions!

Sunday we are getting up to watch the Sun rise. We will talk about His resurrection and share our testimonies with each other (help Joaquin to practice:) and have a celebration dinner. It doesn't end there though! Monday we are going to have a FHE on his visit to the Americas.

I have added one thing this year to our tradition...I am re-reading "Jesus the Christ". I of course won't finish by the end of the week but it will be wonderful reading about the Savior throughout the week.

CHRIST'S LAST WEEK

Monday - The Savior Cleanses the Temple
